Garmisch Partenkirchen Travel Blogs

This is one of the many short trips that I ever did. As I mentioned from my previous journal that my work sometime involved in Frankfurt and when the training or work takes about 2 weeks, the weekend in between I will be free. On 23 March 2002, I chose to go to Ausburg to see the Neuschwanstein Cas…

On day 3 I was excited to take the Alpspitze cable car.  So that was the first thing we did.  It wasn’t as high as the Zugspitze but it was still fun and it had some great views at the top.   After that we took a very beautiful but very hard drive to the Krimmler Waterfalls in…

So... after spending 6 hours (spread out through last month) in a snowdome where I live I got the chance to try out a real mountain with 5 others! The first day was awesome... I spent all day on a green/blue slope (easy-medium level) and though falling LOTS of times it was really fun. It wasn't u…

My vacation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

We stayed overnight in Garmisch, in a hotel that was like two joined by an underground bunker corridor. Very strange.  Our first night under a duvet.  Different. Today, the CASTLE!  Up, showered, dressed, ran for food and on the bus ready and eagerly awaiting the quick trip.  O…

The real entry date for this journal entry should be May 19, 2005   Right in the middle of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is this very well known Hotel and Restaurant. Its been around since 1857.  The restaurant serves wonderful Bavarian food and every night (except Tuesday) they have a Bavaria…

We climbed up the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, on the Holentalle via ferrata route. We set out at 6:45am on the Hollentale route.  In all, it was an excellent day.  We hiked a steep uphill route for about two hours, then arrived at the Hollentalangerhutte (the last restaurant/i…

6 days with my best friend Pat in Bavaria with trips to Munich,Zugspitze,Innsbruck and Augsburg...

The first stop this morning was in Garmisch Partenkirchen where we visited the popular ski jumps. This is the spot where the traditional ski jumping competition of the Four Hills Tournament takes place every New Year's Day.   Then we went to the Zugspitze that's Germany 

We finished our day further south in the Black Forest region of Germany.  The town is Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and the hotel is a Best Western!  I didn’t realize they were outside the U.S.  We had plenty of time before dinner to see our room and wash up.  It was getting to our …

  Garmishch Partenkirchen is a nice little town, with a great attraction. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located at the foot of the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany (2,962 m/9,724 ft), and is both one of the principal climatic health spas in the Bavarian Alps and Germany’s premier wi…

This was the next best day, it was up there with the 30 mile walk of the 25th. We got a train from Innsbruck to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, home of the highest mountain in Germany at 2, 964 metres. We bought two round trips to the 2, 962 level. The cable car ride was seriously scary, easily the scaries…

My friend Marike (girl from the East coast road trip blog) and I went on a little day trip this Saturday. Final goal would be Garmisch Partenkirchen which is only a few miles from the Austrian boarder and is located at the feet of the tallest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze. We left Bad Aibling …

Traveling around Europe just on a whim and prayer and Garmisch-Partenkirchen wasn't any different than all the other places I traveled to in terms of me planning ahead.  (No plan at all!)  For the most part I get to a place that I have no idea where I am going to stay at or even how to fi…

We spent one week at the Edelweiss resort where I had a training conference to attend. Classes were all day until 5, so I only had the evenings to explore, shop and sightsee. It was a lot of walking in to town and just wandering around, which I actually quite like to do. The weather was beautiful a…
